Nursery World - Go back to 'go' in nursery nurse pay scales

I would like to air my concerns regarding my local education authority and find out if there are any other nursery nurses out there who have faced similar situations. I worked with Pembrokeshire LEA as a nursery nurse looking after a hearing-impaired child for about ten years and was then made redundant, as the secondary school the pupilwas due to attend already had a team of nursery nurses to look after this child. I was disappointed but, because I have two children and this job would have meant a lot more travelling, I took my measly 1,900 redundancy cheque and went in search of a new post. I registered with three local authorities and heard nothing for six months. In the meantime I went to work for Marks and Spencer.
